Yesterday Ryan, Tracy and I competed in the Ultimate Relay. It was 4 triathlons back to back in one day. We swam 3000 meters, ran 18 miles and biked 75 miles. It took us 12 hours and 27 mins. It went from Ogden to Midway and it was pretty intense but it was fun. I think we did an awesome job and hopefully we can do it again next year.

We went to the Zoo Lights this New Year's Eve at Hogle Zoo with Toad. It was cold but it was fun!

The best part was the Tiger's cage you could get so close you could pretty much reach out and touch them. And just after I took this picture this Tiger just stopped and stared at me like he was about to attack me. It was a little bit frightening but still pretty cool.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long we didn't have internet and Josh forgot his password but here it is. I will combine a couple into one so hopefully it makes sense.

Here I am in my birthday pic I can't believe I am 25!

Here is Josh skiing. Not really this is a picture of him behind a cardboard cutout at the Olympic Park in Park City.

We recently got to go down to Poway California for Thanksgiving with Josh's sister and her family. It was so much fun! I would like to thank Nicholle and Shaun for letting us stay in their awesome new house, and Jenny for flying all the way from London, England to spend time with us. Also I would like to note Josh's interesting Thanksgiving outfit.

This is Nicholle, Josh and Toad after the polar bear plunge in Nicholle's pool in the end of November with no heat. The funny thing is they were saying how cold it was but the very next day Madison got in the pool no problem to just swim around so she pretty much made them all look like total babies!

Also part of the reason we went down was for Josh and I to be sealed in the San Diego Temple. It was so pretty and so nice that day, the temp outside was about 80 degrees and sunny.

Here is my fam that came down to go through the Temple with us. Thank you all so much for going all the way down to support us in that, and I also got a surprise visit from my cousin Brandon who was waiting outside the temple when we walked out. Thanks BranDon it was so fun to see you!

And here is Josh's family that was there with us as well. I like this pic because it shows you how touchy feely Josh's family is. We said ok everyone get close to fit in the picture and that is as close as Toad got...way off to the side.

It was such a great trip and again thanks to all who were willing to make it!

﻿Post race cool down, it was a hot day but we both improved our times over last year. Once Matt & Ty turn in their times we'll reveal how we did. It was a great success and we were able to raise nearly a dollar for The Cure (the band.) Can't wait for next year.

Toad was nice enough to take us to our very first demolition derby and it was awesome! There is nothing like the smell of exhaust and fried foods on a warm Summer night. We can't wait until we go again.﻿

Sorry to all of our loyal fans that it has been so long since our last post. Josh lost his email password so we were unable to log in, and were unable to post comments on other blogs as well. So luckily for you we will be blogging again and leaving our amazing comments on all of your blogs. First of course I need to blog about Josh's birthday April 14, 2011 he turned the big 31. So Happy Birthday to you!

Also as some of you know we just returned from an AMAZING trip to Europe. We went to Paris, London, and Rome. It was so much fun! We stayed with Matt, Jenny and family in London and they were so great! They were our tour guides and drove us every where. It was so nice of them to take us around and let us stay with them at their house and we just want to say thank you again! We had such a great time in Paris and London, but we decided Rome was our favorite. We also decided we will be learning Italian and going back ASAP! So here are a few pic's from the trip. I took almost 700 pictures in the 10 days we were gone so I will only be putting up a select few but if you want to see all 700 just let me know and I will be more than happy to send you a narrated dvd spending 5 mins each picture telling you all about the trip!

Notre Dame is the first thing we saw in Paris because we stayed just across the stree from it in a great little hotel it was exactly what I pictured a hotel in Paris to be like so I really enjoyed staying there.

Later we saw the one thing you have to see when in Paris the Eiffel tower it was much bigger then I expected. We did get to go to the top and I put that picture up, but it loaded after the next picture. So they are a bit out of order, but I didn't know how to fix it.

Here is Josh at the Louvre Museum we did get to go in, and it was pretty awesome!

This is us at the top of the Eiffel Tower it was pretty windy, but really cool cause you could see all of Paris.

This is the Arc De Triomphe, and yes we risked our lives by standing in the middle of the road to get this picture.

This is in England eating luch at the pub on our way to Fountains Abbey and York.

This was one of our favorite spots in England it is Fountains Abbey. It was just some old ruins of an abbey but it was so pretty and just so fun to walk around.

This was another amazing place in England and the only picture I got of one of us at Stonehenge was this one of Josh in his Canada jersey. It's a thing they do at his work where they take this jersey on vacation and take pictures with it on of cool places they go.

This is Westminster Abbey in London you might recognize it from a little thing called the Royal Wedding.

This is Big Ben and I liked this picture cause I also got a street lamp in it and it just looked so London to me.

Now we are in Rome at the Trevi Fountain. That was one of my favorite spots in Rome it was so much bigger than I expected and after I saw that I decided I am going to move to Rome and make a book of all the fountains in Rome.

Here is a picture of where we stayed in Rome. We were in the orange building on the corner and yes we were literally across the street from the Colosseum.

This is a picture of the outside of the Pantheon. After seeing this building we decided is just crazy how they were able to build some thing so big and have it measure and turn out so perfect way back in ancient times.

And one of the last things we saw in Rome but one of the oldest and coolest was the aquaducts. It was especially cool because we were the only tourist's there everyone else were locals. And trust me with our luggage and camera's and speaking english we fit right in. So like I said all together it was such a great trip and such a wonderful experience to see all of the things we saw. By the time we got home we were so tired from the miles upon miles we know we walked but so happy with the whole trip we decided we would take being tired. And we hope me can make out there again some time soon!
